Waiting on Wednesday # 27 - Across The Universe

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My pick:

Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.
Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone—one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship—tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn’t do something soon, her parents will be next.
Now, Amy must race to unlock Godspeed’s hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there’s only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.

  5. This is a brilliantly written novel. Penguin Australia sent me a Proof copy and once I picked it up it was real hard to put it down until it was finished.

    Not much longer to wait but definitely well worth the read :)

  9. Honestly I received this for review the other day and I am not sure what to make of it. I will give it a try but it doesn't seem like something I would normally read.
